Weekly roundup 04/08/2026 🔴🟢

Wow, it’s August already, summer is in full swing. The racing action is heating up too, with a busy week from the croups!

We start this week’s roundup in London, last Wednesday where Dylan Nazareth recorded a stellar 14:49 in the Chase the Sun Battersea 5k - absolutely stellar running! 🙌

Another 5k meet was also seen in Bristol. Gab Stuokus pulled off a great performance, running a brilliant 18:35! 👏

Turning to the weekend, and very much the opposite of a 5k race, Áine Kenny was in action at the Bluestack 50k in Donegal. Áine finished 🥇 female in a brilliant run, finishing in 5:39:30!

Another great race taking place last weekend was the Hooky 6 miler in the Cotswolds. Steve Chadwell finished in 45:54 a great time over a hilly course and in the heat! 👏

Sunday was also a day for masters athletics racing.

Several croups were in action for Wales, competing against Scotland and England.

Some key highlights from the results were as follows:

Colin Williams firstly competed in the M60 400m, coming home in 60:83, 🥉 overall.

Kieran McDonnell finished 🥇 in the M70 800m in 2:43:44

Colin and Kieran both competed in the 200m. Colin finished🥉 in 28:26 in the M60 race, and Kieran 🥈 in the M70 race, recording a time of 30:39!

They both then teamed up in the 4x100m M60 relay - Kieran leg 3 and Colin anchor leg. Their team finished 🥈 in the race 👏

Finally, in the Llanthony show fell race, we had three runners competing. This is a 6.3km / 3.9 mile race involving 350m of elevation over tough terrain. A huge well done to:

👉 Nat Palmer who finished in 42:38
👉 Clive Osmond finishing in 44:09
👉 Julie Scholey coming home in 59:19

Weekly roundup 22/07/2026 🔴🟢

We start our roundup catching up on results from last Wednesday, where members were in action at the Sorbook Tough 10k!

Ryan Pugsley was first back for the club and a brilliant 🥉 overall on the night in 39:21! Stephen Campbell was back not long after 9th overall in 42:33 👏 Eve Gallop - Evans was next, finishing the race in 1:01:24! 🙌

Congratulations too, to Geoff Wright, who finished a brilliant 🥇 M75 on the night in 1:15:05! 👏

Turning to the weekend, and we had an abundance of croups in action at the Rabbit run in Merthyr Mawr. Here’s a summary of the results:

In the 12k:
Wayne Humphrey’s 🥇 M50
Alfie Sargeant 🥉 MU20
Carol Rees 5th F50
Rob Sage 9th M40

On Sunday, James Prosser took a magnificent🥈 overall in the dragon 50 mile coastal ultra. Starting in Kenfig and ending in Cardiff Bay, James tackled dramatic dunes and cliff tops. Absolutely amazing result 👏

It is also worth mentioning that James also completely the Rabbit Run the day before - incredible effort 👏

Last night, we had a couple of croups starring at the British Milers club races in Aberdare!

👉 Ed Foster ran a brilliant 2:01:61 in the 800m
👉 Colin Williams ran a fantastic 2:19:74 in the 800m. This is a seasons best for Colin, and also only 0.19 seconds away from the M60 Welsh record!
👉 Vaughan Edwards ran a storming 4:16:24 in the 1500m

Lastly, but very much not least. We don’t usually do parkrun shoutouts, but this week we make an exception. Emily Fell broke the female course record by almost a minute at Henley Wood parkrun in Oswestry last weekend. She was also the first ever female to P1 in the event. A fantastic achievement 👏
